The Magical Stranger is a moving story of love and sacrifice, fathers and sons, heroism and duty, soldiers and the families they leave behind.On November 28, 1979, squadron commander and Navy pilot Peter Rodrick died when his plane crashed in the Indian Ocean, leaving behind a devastated wife, two daughters, and a 13yearold son.In this powerful, beautifully written book, journalist Stephen Rodrick explores the life and death of the man who indelibly shaped his life, even as he remained a mystery. Through adolescence and into adulthood, Stephen Rodrick struggled to fully grasp the reality of his fathers death and its permanence.To better understand his father, Rodrick turned to members of his fathers former squadron, the 'WorldFamous Black Ravens.' As he learns about his father, he uncovers the layers of these sailors lives: their loves, friendships, dreams, disappointmentsand the consequences of their choices on those they leave behind. The journey doesnt end until November 28, 2013, when Rodricks first son is born 34 years to the day after his fathers mishap.A penetrating, thoughtful blend of memoir and reportage, The Magical Stranger is a moving reflection on the meaning of military service and the power of a fathers legacy.
